Add. John Konchar is averaging 31.6 minutes over his last 5 games against a 19.9 season average.
That is a full role change, not a blip. Over his last 10 games he is at 30.7 minutes, and a value signal also fired on him this stretch, flagging him as underrated relative to where he is being drafted.
The production has followed the minutes. He is at 34.7 FPG over his last 10 games against 18.6 for the season, a jump of 16.1 FPG.
He is only 6.23% rostered and ranked 246th in FPG under this scoring format, so he is sitting on the wire in almost every league right now.
The risk is sample size: this is five games of expanded minutes, and any rotation change in New York could pull the playing time back down just as fast as it rose.
